Problems solved by technology

[0003] UAV orthophoto measurement technology is only used in flat areas. In hilly and hillside areas, due to the particularity of the landform, the accuracy of the measurement results decreases, and even only the projected area can be obtained. The final result is quite different from the actual data;
[0004] The oblique photography technology can perform aerial calibration on the slope, which reorganizes the point cloud of multi-angle aerial pictures to obtain a 3D model for slope calibration and measurement; this method needs to collect a large number of multi-angle aerial pictures in the early stage, and through professional construction. The results can only be obtained after several hours of processing by the modeling software and graphics workstation. Although the accuracy is high, the timeliness is poor, and the data that can be used for measurement cannot be obtained in real time. In addition, the cost of purchasing professional equipment is as high as hundreds of thousands, and professional Only personnel can complete the operation, which is undoubtedly a high threshold for lightweight users
